Big Crops from Little Trees 



Dwarf Fruit Trees Solve the Problem of Fruit Growing in 

 Small Gardens. 40 Varieties of Apples, Pears and Cherries. 



Why You Should Buy Dwarf Trees 



LyWcUI r Rill I fees. T , They bear bigger, better fruit; come into bearing several years 



earlier, and produce more fruit from the space than standard 

 size trees. 



2. They are easy to care for, because the heads are so low 

 that insect pests can be controlled. Picking is easy, because the 

 fruit is within reach. 



3. With dwarf trees, you can use the land for vegetables, as 

 the shade is less dense 



You can have forty trees, with a variety, in a space 20 feet 

 square, save several years, get better fruit, and each tree should 

 bear a bushel a year. 



We offer the best stock ever produced in this country. Our 

 apples are grafted on Paradise stock, and the pears on quince stock. 

 They will succeed in many places where standard trees would fail. 



To secure full season's growth, order at once for Spring 

 planting. Our illustrated Booklet including descriptions of 

 Varieties and Cultural Directions sent on request.
